fading plastic

[volvotech97850]

I've got a '97 850 T-5 as you can see from the sig.The bumpers are really starting to fade bad, probably from too much armor all. I started to use Mother's back to black and it's been working okay, but not much better than armor-all. I'm sure someone else out there has dealt with this, what did you do? What kind of product did you use? Thanks in advance.

On my parents' '97 850 we repainted them with duplicolor black plastic bumper paint.

Looks good, and it's been 3 years.

stoner brand trimshine. i use this stuff on my black bumpers and under the hood to give everything plastic a new look. it works well and doesnt attract dust that i have noticed

so no one has round anything other than paint for bringing them back to life?

I use the cheap spray on tire shine. Doesn't last long but works pretty much the same as back to black and costs $2 a can. I've also used shoe polish in the past. Hobo-licious!

If its the black bumpers, you kind of are screwed, no "products" will give plastic that life back forever, sand it lightly clean thouroughly, and paint em with satin black.


If theres colour, you can do an abbrasive compound with light compound then buff out and wax that sh1t!
